Spreads feature rhyming couplets that introduce ten octopus facts, along with supplemental text and striking computer-generated illustrations of a giant Pacific octopus. (Fact ten introduces ten different species.) The thoughtful use of white space and text placement combined with the fascinating information results in a well-designed, informative book. Directions for octopus-related crafts and edible treats are included. Reading list, websites.
